Article Synopsis
- Birth asphyxia is a significant and preventable issue contributing to infant mortality, particularly in Ethiopia, highlighting the need for early identification of risk factors.
- A study conducted from April to May 2020 analyzed 357 newborns across three hospitals in northern Gondar using a systematic sampling approach and evaluating APGAR scores to confirm cases of asphyxia.
- The results showed a prevalence of 27.1% for neonatal asphyxia, with rural maternal residence, first-time mothers, premature rupture of membranes, and low birth weight identified as major risk factors.
